Westside Behavioral Care offers one of Colorado’s largest networks of mental health providers (LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, PsyD/PhDs, PMHNPs, etc) dedicated to Kaiser Permanente patients statewide. Established in 1998 with the mission of making appointment scheduling as easy and convenient as possible, Westside’s licensed therapists serve thousands of patients a year by providing supportive counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and more. Appointments are available through in-person sessions across the Denver metro area (Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Boulder, Arvada, etc.) and convenient online therapy statewide.

Thanks to our partnership with Kaiser, members can expect quick access to care (often in as little as 48 hours) without worrying about prior authorizations or referrals. Nearly all Westside therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, meaning you get the care you need at in-network rates. Our team will verify your benefits and share them with your therapist ahead of your first appointment so you’re fully informed going into your first session.

True to our mission, we make scheduling easy for everyone. You can choose your preferred therapist by using our scheduling tool available 24/7, call our friendly receptionists (available Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm MST) at (303) 986-4197, complete one of the many contact forms on our website, or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance. Our patient-focused approach is designed to give Kaiser members in Colorado a stress-free, positive experience.

Therapists working with clients in and around Franktown support communities such as Russellville, Whispering Pines, Deerfield, and other rural neighborhoods. Whether you live off Highway 83 or nearby backroads, therapy is available locally or online statewide.

Many therapists offer help with anxiety, grief, chronic stress, parenting conflict, and trauma recovery. Services are flexible to accommodate varying needs across rural areas.

Providers often accept Kaiser Permanente and other major insurance networks. You can explore therapy options based on your availability, care preference, and whether you’d like to meet in person or online.

Coping with cancer, whether you’re newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, in remission, or a caregiver, can bring intense emotional and psychological strain. It’s common to experience anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence, grief, or even identity shifts as life revolves around appointments, side effects, and uncertainty. These challenges can affect sleep, relationships, appetite, and day-to-day functioning. For many, cancer is not just a medical diagnosis, it’s an emotional journey that touches every part of life, including self-worth, future plans, and connection with others.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care understand the complex emotional toll cancer can take, and many have specialized experience supporting individuals and families navigating these challenges. Our counselors may use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help manage negative thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to find meaning and strength in difficult moments, or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to ease physical and emotional distress. Supportive-expressive therapy and grief counseling are also available to process loss or existential fear. When reaching out, consider asking about your therapist’s experience with chronic illness or cancer-related care.

Westside offers flexible, compassionate therapy both in person throughout the Greater Denver Area and online across Colorado through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions. All our providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans to help make care more affordable. Whether you’re looking for individual therapy, family support, or someone to talk to during treatment, we’re here to help you navigate this journey with strength and support.

Teenagers experience rapid growth, not only physically but emotionally and mentally, as they move toward adulthood. The teen years often involve major shifts in identity, peer relationships, academic pressure, and emotional regulation. Common concerns during this time include anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, social isolation, academic burnout, family conflict, and navigating gender or sexual identity. With the right tools and guidance, teens can learn to process their experiences and develop the confidence and emotional skills they need for adulthood.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care work collaboratively with teens to create a judgment-free space where they feel heard and understood. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness strategies, or solution-focused approaches depending on the teen’s needs and preferences. Our therapists are skilled at building trust, balancing autonomy with support, and involving parents or caregivers when helpful, all while prioritizing the teen’s voice in their care.

Westside provides therapy for teens ages 13–18 both in person at locations across the Greater Denver Area and online anywhere in Colorado. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many work with additional major insurance providers. Whether your teen needs support with daily stressors or more complex emotional challenges, Westside offers compassionate, accessible care to help them grow and thrive during these critical years.
